Believe me, Sylvia had plenty of days when she was angry or upset--but she was also the queen of denial, and it's hard to say that that's better than feeling self-pity, in my book. In many ways she was lucky, because she went from being very functional and "healthy" (able to ignore the cancer much of the time) to being at the end stage in a very short time. So she didn't have to cope with the kinds of surgeries and difficulties that it sounds like you have. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I believe that it's much more important to have an <I>authentic</I> experience than to have a falsely cheery one. And remember that a eulogy (which is what I was writing) is always going to gloss over some of the less inspiring moments--but they're still there...!<BR/><BR/>Hope you are doing well. I'm thinking of you.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17084883106856075040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5052012480447361510.post-33179325240647265292008-01-13T00:55:00.000+00:002008-01-13T00:55:00.000+00:00Hey babe.
